This dynamic string duo composes all original music, drawing from many different styles (tango, Celtic, jazz, pop, etc) to create cinematic instrumental music that tells a story and evokes imagery in the ear of the listener. The Wires will guide you through their concert experience with story telling and banter that will draw you into new musical worlds and soundscapes. The Wires are a modern exploration in string sound. Created in Kansas City, Missouri, Laurel Morgan Parks, violin, and Sascha Groschang, cello, have been composing dynamic and cinematic music as best friends since 2009. Their music is inspired by imagery found in the natural world, folk styles and modern string techniques. Following their debut album in 2012, their latest album “Wilder” (May 2019) is an imagined journey that includes depths of the oceanic world, the vast expanse of Celtic hills, the coldness of frozen tundra and a discovery of the cosmos. The duo performs at festivals, concert halls, and music venues in the Midwest and beyond.
